NIH Public Access Policy

If you have received NIH funding, you’ve heard about the new policy which requires you to deposit journal articles that are based on that funding into PubMed Central. One of the important dates, April 7, 2008, is just around the corner. Many people at JHU are putting information together to help you with these new requirements and procedures.

The Provost and Vice Provost for Research have released a letter to the JHU community that provides a good overview. There is also a committee of librarians from JHMI and the Homewood Campus, the Scholarly Communications Group, that is also putting together information about the NIH policy for you. And of course, NIH has put together a lot of information detailing how to comply.
